I'll sweeten the deal a bit...you can have every penny I have.

Tell you what, I'll trade you. I've got SIPR at my desk and JWICS in the SCIF, you can have my house, my accounts, and my job (a highly stimulating and rewarding job). I tell you man, this is an opportunity you CANNOT pass up!

Easily done. Call up their duty office and ask about it. Likely you'll have to talk to the OPSO, but I expect he'll be cool with it. I hitched a ride after I was winged and prior to departing the pattern for VP-30. The ride was actually kinda dull, we just flew out and did some pattern work...

Phrog on Phrog - that's hot!

For perhaps the best meal on the entire island go to a little tiny place in Coupeville called The Oyster Catcher. Some of the finest food I have ever had (and yes, I have spent time in France, Italy and many other countries known for the culinary delights) and great service. You'll pay a fair...

Flyers, in OH, great food, great beer. The Brown is the main place O's go, but I've never been a huge fan.

There is also the all time favorite: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! A guy I met before i joined up was a former A-6 B/N. He was a ski bum, his wife was a reserve marine intel officer and did something else to bring money in. Ah, sounds too good to be true.

If you can't knock out a good-low by 1:30, you've got problems.

What are you guys kidding?! Send him envelopes with LOTS of stickers and colors! Send him boxes of cookies and other geedunk! Do NOT send naked pictures, that would be bad. But the others are good. Yes, he'll have to pump out a few more pushups and yes he'll likely end up eating a...

Denver recruited me. Maybe that's why they got fired.

Wow, when will AQ get with the times? They need to stop oppressing their women and let them express themselves! Religion of peace and equality my ass! I will not rest until there is equality for ALL the women of the world!

Interesting article. Lots of foot-in-mouth stuff. I think we see this a lot from public figures. Certainly our current president is no exception and neither are Senator Clinton or Senator McCain - who have both said stupid things. Even the revered Ronald Regan (who I personally believe was...

Realistically Senator Clinton does have a chance. The numbers are fairly close, close enough that a few more months of campaigning might make the difference at the DNC, since Senator Obama is unlikely to get the delegates he needs to clinch the nom before then, though he is very close...

So you think i could get TA to pay for this? It'd be a hell of a lot cheaper than the program I'm applying to at UofW. GRE, by the way, totally sucks...or maybe i'm just stupid.

Man, that's a great article. I love that kind of 60's Futurama hopefulness. Though I guess the Navy never heard about the 24hr work week. I guess I shouldn't complain though, I'm only working half days this weekend (12hrs).

I was thinking more like Maxim or Jugs. That's about my level of reading. And that's about my level of romance.

I hope you say that when you get to your squadron. :icon_smil

Man, fleet week has GOT to be a great way to meet girls. On the other hand, there are a LOT of sailors with exactly that in mind. I'd sure like to do something like that some time. I donna think i'll be getting to many air shows with my desk. Though, I do have TWO LCD monitors, that's...

Or you could check out the PBS DVD from your local library - pretty good show. Much easier than that reading thing. I only like trashy romance novels anyhow.

I'll admit it, I went to space camp as a kid. This stuff never gets old. Exploration is the most basic human drive (well, after the drive to mate and watch sports). Nobody can deny that their current mission is critical to the future of the ISS. Inocuous though it may be, a clogged head...

Wrong again, helo guy. GAWD! Obviously clerical means performing religious services for the candidate. Bah mitzvahs, circumcisions, etc.

Well, let's be honest now - I don't think you'd get much if you went after their shirts. Now, maybe you could sue from one of those sweet grass loin skirt things and a blow gun. That'd be cool as shit!

But Ray, you said crossing the streams was bad!

Well that's just silly! They don't even have cars! Why would the need Geico?! GAWD!

Thai Air food - OUTSTANDING! Thai Air stews - GREAT! Thai Air planes - CRAP! Some of them might be new, but they don't have ANY Gucci entertainment features. I know nothing about the mechanical condition of their planes nor about their pilot competancy.

Good find! Long read, but good info. There was stuff in there I didn't know. I'm going to FWD this to the command.

I would say yes... Not that I have any desire to deny you your right of expression, but when it's under a set of Navy wings it does tend to say a bit more than it should. I know, I'm a moon faced assassin of joy!

I thought we were allowed to be involved in politics as much as we'd like - so long as we don't do it in uniform or in our capacity as military members. At least that's the way I understood it. I didn't see but snippets of Mullen's letter so I'm not sure what level of detail he goes into. I...

So...what would YOU do in THIS situation? Really though, shoulda caught that one on pre-flight :)

Patrol for all my friends!

Japanese movers are pretty damn good, from what I've seen. They are professional and EXTREMELY fast. Be careful though, they can take things quite literally and might just pack your cat if you're not careful.

What, you can't just get up and use the head?

I bet that thing is hella fun to fly.

Back to the thread at hand...sorta.... Had a tour of the Atsugi aviation mx facility last week - neat place. Most of the workers are Japanese and were EXTREMELY proud to show us around. They do very good work and take a great deal of pride in turning out a great product. They do both US and...

And try not to be combative.

Ho ho ho chi minh!

Wow! Outstanding! That's a very cool plane. I had no idea we had so many of them.

Oh, way to be a buzz kill man!

Seen it before, but that doesn't stop it from being funny!

Can I pay my dues in beer? 3rd week of July, IPC in HI - you up for a frosty brew?

I wonder if it occurred to him that chicks like sex too and maybe they don't want to be told that THEY should refuse sex to make a statement. I really can't believe the legislature approved it to go to petition. I seriously doubt that he'll find enough hippy chicks to obtain 26,000...

Sound too crazy to be true? I simply couldn't believe this!

Getting a master's via some distance learning program is fairly easy, depending on what your shore tour work schedule is like. Mine is a bit of a challenge in that regard, as I have one of those shore tours that is "shore" only in name. Guys who go to the VT's or VP-30 typically can get time...

If you place an aircraft (wheel equipped only) on a huge conveyor belt, moving in the opposite direction of the plane's intended travel, you can take off vertically. :icon_tong I'm a terrible person, I know. edit: this is what happens when I am bored on watch...

Maybe they use a conveyor belt.

No, really, for sure! I saw it on CNN! I really...really...really hate CNN. Why do I even go to their site? Maybe I need anger to keep me going.

She's going to the DC campus, just north of the central part of town. I'm having her call the Q. Unfortunately the school isn't terribly helpful with housing - their list of places is very outdated and they don't have any dorm space on their DC campus.

My wife is going to DC in for 20 days in June/July to start attending grad school at Johns Hopkins. Any advice on a place for her to stay? DC is awfully expensive for hotels. I don't think she can stay at a BOQ without me. HELP!

^^^^What Zab said, and When an emergency takes place, and you're the 3P, don't argue with the PPC when he tells you to get out of the seat so the 2P can get in. Oh, and especially don't tell the PPC that since you were most recently at VP-30 that you have the most up to date fleet tactical...

I'd go visit my DI post OCS to get his perspective on things. I really respected the guy and wanted to glean as much knowledge as possible from him. Did the same with my class CPO. Both of them came to my wedding. I didn't really consider it frat, as I saw them both not as friends but as...
